But it's 2023. You don't have to keep physical copies to store files indefinitely. All you need is a scanner and a server that fits in a closet sized room.

All the time and too often during dark winter hours when there's very little people are allowed to shoot at

Prop 13 in CA means old people, who own more than half of residential properties, have vastly lower property tax rates than we do.

They mostly stick to Coos county

Eventually

There is no other answer

Old Orchard Beach, Maine too

A friend of mine who is in her mid 50s is from Berlin and they spoke French at home. I wonder if there still are many families like that now.

That's awesome. And I appreciate the tip; whenever I manage to move to a bigger house, I'd like to get the 3rd cat I planned for before the pandemic made adoptions so difficult.

What I'd like to know is why UNH loses power so very often. Parts of the Durham campus lose power 6x as often as towns in the same county do. Some times on days with no wind to speak of and no snow or rain.

And, so far as I've heard, still no serious efforts towards revamping the Jones Act which costs New England a fortune in natural gas transportation costs.

My mom's birthday was also October 3rd, and her school system in Massachusetts also had the same cutoff. Her parents got around it by sending her to Catholic school so she could start kindergarten at age 4.

She so very much hated being one of the very youngest kids every year that when the possibility of me skipping a grade came up she vetoed it because was already one of the younger kids in my grade..and I was in my 30s before she admitted it had been suggested, twice!

My younger brother went to Readiness (anymore remember that? In the late 80s it was an extra grade between kindergarten and first grade) because he had at that point untreated ADHD, and she only agreed to let him skip 6th grade because he would be with kids the same age as him.

I understand my mom's stance about not wanting to set us up to be the least mature in our classes. Of the 4 kids I knew who graduated high school at 17, only one of them graduated college 4 years later.

That's a BS answer from the police. I live on a private road and when we called the police about waking up and finding an abandoned car in our diveway the police came out, ran the plates and determined that it belonged to someone that they were looking for over a DUI (I think they'd tried to pull him over the night before and he evaded them), and they arranged to have it towed.

The person who suggested contacting WMUR probably has the right idea.

I'm middle-aged and no internet is absolutely a deal breaker given I work from home most days.

Do you know what type the larger ticks are? I've mostly seen bigger ticks the past few years but they do creep me out anyway.

Stay classy, Barnstead PD

Electricity and propane together are shortly going to be ~ $570 a month once the $150 a month propane hike goes into effect.

OP, make sure you also look at the property tax history on Zillow/Redfin for every house you're interested in. NH has the third highest property tax rate in the US.

Zillow is so bad at assessing value they lost nearly a billion dollars in 2021-22 buying and flipping homes themselves.

I think it's crazy that it's 40 and the rocks kicked up by the snow plow the week before last are still frozen to the driveway. The ground froze hard this weekend.

At least there's no snow and ice today to bog repairs down. ::fingers crossed for everyone who is out::

I read something this morning that said it hasn't been this cold since 2016, but maybe they just meant the actual temperature because I don't think the windchill has been as low as they predict tonight will be since January 2000 when we had that bitterly cold MLK day.

For God's sake. SAR must be tempted to let the gene pool clean itself tonight.

They send these memos because they have to. A few winters back there were issues at a couple of the academic buildings on the Durham campus because mutiple faculty members left their windows open over winter break!

Yes. I wonder how many people who want to move here realize that NH has the 3rd highest property taxes, and the northeast also has by far the highest heating and electricity costs in the country.

I once read that New Hampshire drivers are polite to a dangerous fault, and it's spot on.

I once came around a bend on 125 and discovered that an idiot with burned out brake lights had come to a complete stop to let a mac truck exit a parking lot. The lack of lights made it take an extra second to realize he wasn't moving, so we were both lucky I had good brakes.
